Russell was born in Catawissa, Columbia County, PA,
the sixth of seven children born to Helen
S. Fetterman and David William Shoup. He was married March 18, 1946,
and of this marriage, two daughters were born. The family lived in Catawissa
where Russell owned S&H Plumbing and Heating. In 1963, they moved
to Excelsior Springs, MO, and while living there, he worked for Atkinson
Plumbing. In 1971, they moved to Ocala, FL, and Russell worked for the
Marion County School Board. He retired in 1990, and in 1995 retured
to Missouri.

Because his wife and children are still living, no
other information will be offered here.
